What Negative Chemistry Looks Like
I finished this drama for Baek Hee Seop and Baek Hee Seop only. All my thoughts, consumed by Baek Hee Seop. What is Baek Hee Seop eating? What is Baek Hee Seop doing? Where is Baek Hee Seop going?
The rest? The rest can literally vanish into one of 5 million plot holes this complete waste of time drama created. Why introduce plot devices and create interesting characters if you waste time creating a dumb murder mystery with "never let them guess your next move" as your sole guiding thought.
SPOILERS!
The unanswered questions and plot holes...where do I even start...
1. There is still zero reason why a seemingly loving father in the future (even if he was a serial killer before) would kill his son once his son found his crime out. There is no explanation, just a desire to protect themselves- like their son is a complete stranger.
2. The random future child showing up and saying "oh, you overlooked a loophole" and everyone seeming to GET IT? Is there a tax on dialogue now, because nothing else was explained! Not why the car appeared to the ML and FL, but also this seemingly "obvious" loophole.
3. What a sad, sad treatment of a potentially interesting character- Go Mi Sook. They wanted her to be a sociopath so bad, building her up to be this larger than life, evil figure that can spot your insecurities from a mile away and manipulate you like a marionette. The worst thing she did? She...plagiarised? Huh??? And everything just resolved itself so easily after that, too! That dumb necklace too, I thought they were going to give it an elaborate backstory considering how many times they focussed on her fiddling with it, but its just...there?? Was the writer's room out of ideas or something?
